Positioners

Advanced Polyfoam Positioners are in stock items, available in 4 standard types. All positioners are made from the highest quality Polyfoam F/R™ & Durafoam™ materials.

Difference in material:

Standard PolyFoam F/R™

Our regular Polyfoam F/R™ positioners are supportive yet comfortable. They are manufactured from special high density resilient 2 lb. estar foam which is functionally radiolucent and artifact free. They are plain foam, Not Upholstered or Coated. The high-friction surface eliminates slippage. These positioners are preferred for radiographic, fluoroscopic and other imaging uses.

Armor-Guard™ Coated

Armor-Guard™ Coated Positioners are made from specially coated high density Dura-foam™. Their Armor-guard™ coated surface can be readily wiped clean. These positioners are functionally radiolucent making them an excellent choice for radiographic use. In some instances, their vertical edges, when X-rayed at 90 degrees making the edge parallel to the primary beam, can create a slight image shadow. Users should place 90 degree edges outside the area of interest. These positioners are preferred for radiographic, fluoroscopic and other imaging uses.

Nylon Covered

Positioners are covered with quality lightweight waterproof blue nylon. Sewn seams are water resistant and functionally radiolucent. Positioner surfaces can be readily wiped clean. These positioners are functionally radiolucent making them an excellent choice for radiographic use. This positioner is recommended for radiographic use.

Vinyl Upholstered
